Accelerating Photons with Gravitational Radiation
The nature of superluminal photon propagation in the gravitational field describing radiation from a time-dependent, isolated source (the Bondi-Sachs metric) is considered in an effective theory which includes interactions which violate the strong equivalence principle. Such interactions are, for example, generated by vacuum polarisation in conventional QED in curved spacetime. The relation of ...
متن کاملGravitational Radiation *
Gravity is one of the fundamental forces of Nature, and it is the dominant force in most astronomical systems. In common with all other phenomena, gravity must obey the principles of Special Relativity. In particular, gravitational forces must not be transmitted or communicated faster than light. This means that when the gravitational field of an object changes, the changes ripple outwards thro...
متن کاملThe Accelerating Universe: A Gravitational Explanation
The problem of explaining the acceleration of the expansion of the universe and the observational and theoretical difficulties associated with dark matter and dark energy are discussed. The possibility that GR does not correctly describe the large-scale structure of the universe is considered and an alternative gravity theory is proposed as a possible resolution to the problems. e-mail: moffat@...
متن کاملGravitational radiation detection with laser interferometry
Gravitational-wave detection has been pursued relentlessly for over 40 years. With the imminent operation of a new generation of laser interferometers, it is expected that detections will become a common occurrence. The research into more ambitious detectors promises to allow the field to move beyond detection and into the realm of precision science using gravitational radiation. In this articl...
متن کاملArresting Accretion Torques with Gravitational Radiation
Recent theoretical work has made it plausible for neutron stars (NSs) to lose angular momentum via gravitational radiation on long timescales (∼ 10 yr) while actively accreting. The gravitational waves (GWs) can either be emitted via the excitation of r-modes or from a deformed crust. GW emission can thus intervene to slow-down or halt the otherwise relentless spin-up from accretion. Prior to t...
